Go for it..
Great fun, keep an open mind.
I would only meet someone if i had spent sometime e-mailing & speaking on the phone so i had a pretty good idea of the person i was going to meet.
I think it is very different for women, i am very cautious naturally so this was/is a big deal for me. I would want a man to be braver than me iyswim? very open & willing to share more personal details.
Also allow plenty of time, i think it will be worth the effort.
Good luck.
Neversayno.com.
I met my g/f of 2 years via OK cupid.It`s free too.
as a complete alternative see Spice UK, a multi activity group. (Can be a bit expensive and I'd say ages will average 40+sih... - so maybe ask depending on your age, - however lots of singles and you get to try new things if that's your bag - weekends away are better for meeting, a lot of the sport events are sport and home - not so much chat.)
otherwise TooTall and "If her picture has her pet in it, leave well alone." etc etc etc sounds about right, however can I suggest that you also include women who collect garden gnomes in that list.
*edit - re OP, Yes.
I think its a great way to meet a partner. You can get to know them via email and calls first and then actually meet.
I met my partner on Guardian Soulmates and have never been happier.

Or TandemJeremy?
Don't be silly! You know the score, when it comes to dating Hora....
I used OKCUpid and got married (only last week!) to a lass I met on there.
Thank goodness that I'm not single. If I was you wouldn't hear a whisper of me on here for months- I'd be on all the dating sites rinsing through the females. Being greedy and' 'all 😀
Is 'rinsing' the approved technical term?
Rinsing implies cleaning them? Would you not be dirtying them up, so in Binners case....soiling them?

Then advertising them for sale on Classifieds a week later! 😛
Hi - from a female perspective, i think online dating is worth a shot. I have done so in the past and being a single mum doesn't make you an attractive prospect to most guys. Ive been out with a couple of guys from this very site but that wasn't intended - just the mutual love of bikes 🙂
I think you can easily tell the fruit loops from the genuine people.

All about being a Pick Up Artist, the speel :-
Pick-up Artist Nic Krauser joins us to talk about his journey from divorce to mastering 'Game' with women, how men are attracted to beauty and women are attracted to confidence, why 'Game' can help a man in a relationship, how women are honest to their emotions in the moment, and why pick-up routines can be a substitute to addressing one's inner demons.
Quite interesting techniques which I'd definitely consider adopting should I not be a pussy whipped beta male.
Just had a quick google and there seems to be a whole subculture of pick up artists and a whole industry from books to videos to courses to support them.

Oh come on, you can't leave it at that - spill the beans! 😉

Is that a direct quote???
sorry nicko74 - i signed a 50 Shades style 'contract' so i am not at liberty to spill any beans 😉
Do it! It won't be long before you're banging like a shithouse door in a gale.
foxylaydee hello, why not make it three? 8)
You certainly have to put some effort in. In the end I had a standard pro forma introduction i sent out to [s]good looking[/s]interesting looking profiles, sometimes tweeked slightly for the recipient. Always best to remember to change the name at the top, mind. Oh, and the chances of sending the same pro forma to two friends, both on the dating site are not as slim as you'd think either. Spent some time pefecting my dating lasagne too.
Was with someone for 3 years off Guardian Soulmates, split up in the last 8 months or so, so no, it doesn't work... 🙂
met my missus on line - more viable I think for older types as you tend to not meet new people on a regular basis.
As this thread shows you get broadly two types
1. lots of dates, nothing serious, use routines, serially dates seeing a few folk
2. Folk who actually want a monogomous or serious relationship
Make sure you are dating somone with the same outlook as you
Make sure you take advice from someone who got the same as you want
Spent some time perfecting my dating lasagne too.
What's that a euphemism for then? I'm going to be really disappointed if you're genuinely referring to pasta.
bit like shooting fish in a barrel, except you wouldn't want to take many home for tea
standard pro forma introduction
oh how romantic

I have a cheesecake!
Met the Mrs online. Been together 5 years and still happy. Through love@lycos but thats gone now.
[i]Dating Lasagne[/i] sounds like an epic iPhone auto correct to me
first girl I went on a date with I am now engaged to. So it worked for me
I`m : in that situation as well I get married next year 😀
I tell you what sucks, a mate joining match.com and finding your current (serious) partner's profile on there. That sucks.
😯
Excellent, tell us more! 😀
Link?
Mate of a mate, let's just say there were fireworks.
Can I have a copy of the standard introduction e-mail?
That would help a fair it I think 🙂
Hi
I saw your profile pics and I would just like to say your tits look fantastic
Any chance I can have a go on them?
They like the understated humour of this...No hionestly they do
Good luck
My now Wife still complains about my dating lasagne as I provided salad and dipping bread, but no pud. I did have to churn out 3 that weekend so just didn't have the time, though.

Shibboleth - MemberI always used to introduce myself to the fat girls at the gym - they were always keen to make friends, and within 12 months, some were quite slim!

Should have made the lasagnes and frozen them before cooking, then you can mass produce them and cook them when needed.
I can imagine the conversation would be a little awkward if you served up the romantic meal for two, then she looked in the freezer and saw 15 romantic dinner kits ready to go!

Another ex-OKCupid user here,she's bloomin lovely too. 2 1/2years or so now.
Dating site women are like normal women out there in the real world, some are grand, some are total nut jobs. I'd just go for it.
